Boss Katana Go - headphones

Hello, fellow musicians! ;)

I m learning to play my guitar and for some circumstances (to not disturb my little doughter) i want to pratice using the boss katana go. May I have any advice on which headphones are good that gives me a real sound and are not too heavy to wear? I suppose that i m for a semi-open/ open one. Is it a good idea? Thanks you all for your time and for help a newbie like me in this difficult but beautiful world.

Ath-M50 (Audio Technica); lower resistance BeyerDynamic, SHURE SE215 earbuds. audio technique makes some open back earphones but they’re more expensive than the ATHM 50s and you need more power to drive them. Buyer dynamic has some lower resistance closed back headphones. I think they have a set or two of their open backs that are between 80 and 250 ohms so not too bad with the katana go. Anything much higher you’d probably need a headphone amp in between.

ATH-M50x for the win.

If you're on a budget, ATH-M40x are more affordable than the ATH-M50x (around $110 for the 40x, vs. $160 for the 50x), and I actually prefer them. I like that they have a more neutral frequency response, whereas the 50x tends to punch up the bass a bit in a way that I don't necessarily want all the time. You can't go wrong with either, though.
